Gyeonggi Institute of Economic Science and Technology and Gyeonggi Job Foundation Excelled in Management Last Year

In the Gyeonggi Province public institution evaluation, the Gyeonggi Institute of Economic Science and Technology and the Gyeonggi Job Foundation received the highest rating, Grade A. The Gyeonggi Suwon World Cup Stadium Management Foundation received the lowest rating, Grade E.

On August 19, Gyeonggi Province announced the results of the 2024 management evaluation for 19 funded and commissioned institutions and their heads, based on their 2024 performance.

From March to June of this year, Gyeonggi Province formed a management evaluation team consisting of 29 private-sector experts, including professors and accountants. The team conducted document reviews and on-site evaluations for each institution to assess their management performance over the past year.

This year, the evaluation placed special emphasis on expanding performance-based assessments and strengthening social responsibility evaluation by introducing new criteria: ▲innovation performance, ▲exemplary cases of innovation recognized by residents, and ▲assessment of project publicity outcomes.

As a result, three institutions received Grade A: the Gyeonggi Job Foundation, which advanced data-driven employment services by developing specialized public sector job apps such as "Jobadream" and the "Job Dashboard"; the Gyeonggi Institute of Economic Science and Technology, which enhanced the quality of corporate support services through service innovation such as the AI-based "Gyeonggi Business Assistant"; and the Gyeonggi Content Agency, which contributed to the vitalization of global AI content creation by hosting Korea's first and largest "International AI Film Festival." In contrast, the Gyeonggi Suwon World Cup Stadium Management Foundation received Grade E due to insufficient performance in the project outcomes assessment category.

Gyeonggi Province also conducted an evaluation of the heads of 22 institutions, excluding those who had served for less than three months as of last year.

According to the evaluation results, only the head of the Gyeonggi Job Foundation received Grade A. Five heads, including that of the Gyeonggi Institute of Economic Science and Technology, received Grade B; six, including the head of the Gyeonggi Research Institute, received Grade C; and four, including the head of the Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation, received Grade D.

The final evaluation results for the heads of four local public corporations, including Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation, as well as the Gyeonggi Social Service Center and Gyeonggi Medical Center, will be confirmed after incorporating the evaluation results from central government ministries (the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Health and Welfare).

Based on this evaluation, Gyeonggi Province plans to take follow-up measures, such as issuing warnings to heads who received Grade D or lower, and will reflect each institution's implementation of management improvement tasks in next year’s evaluation.

Lee Moonhwan, Director of Public Institutions at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Through fair and rational management evaluations, we will continuously enhance the management efficiency and accountability of funded and commissioned institutions, ensuring that these improvements lead to tangible results for our residents."
